let's not, you know -- if syria is a problem for us to worry about and what to do about isis in syria, that doesn't mean we wait for a final game plan before we start acting in iraq because there are too many lives at risk. >> but the question -- and i think what concerns a lot of americans when they look at this unfolding situation is whether -- just what you said, that the perception is that really no one can beat them but the united states, but the united states military and that what ben rhodes was talking about, which is equipping and giving training and giving equipment to fighters on the grounds, to the existing people on the grounds, including parts of the modern syrian army, that that won't be enough. in the end, they still, even with our help, won't be able to overcome ie ssis. again, it's our air strikes allowing them to get the gaining they've gotten. >> i'll tell you who's not worried about that. it's the iraqis. the iraqi towns and cities that are not going to be overtaken by isis because american fire power was involved are not going to turn around and say, well, our so
